Online Training - Basic DCS: Operation and Maintenance

DESCRIPTION This DCS System Operation course will cover the practical applications of distributed control systems. Included is the relationship between programmable logic controllers and the DCS. Further included is the importance of Human Computer Interfaces (HMI) and advanced control strategies, which would not be possible without the application of a computer. This course is non-specific but will include a number of manufacturers DCS systems, such as Honeywell TDC rage. Each delegate will receive a comprehensive course manual. The concept of field buses is introduced with some study of Foundation of assets management as a tool for proactive maintenance systems. OUTLINE
